RUFUS B. BULLOCK, LATE
GOVERNOR.
A Reminiscence of tlie Fugitive.
Written for Memorial Day.
To the Editors or the Herald :
Eight years ago. this spring, our weary, war-beaten
soldiers, the last of tho Southern arm . but rendered
to a conquering foe, and their noble Chieftain, on
Virginia’s soil, delivered up his sword. The world
said the South was conquered, and well does every
Southern heart remember the funeral pall that
eclipsed the very sunlight in our Southern homes and
hearts, as the news spread through hill and dale,
city and hamlet, that the war straggle was over, and
the victory lost to us. Strong men’s heads bowed
with grief, and women and children wept such tears
as they had never wept before. Surely it was a time
for tears! Four long years of trial, war and ruin, and
the result a nation of graves!
Around these silent graves, at this season of each
year, the daughters of the South, through the length
end breadth of our land may be seen strewing freeh
flowers on many a green mound and watering them
with tho tears of widows and orphans.
It is not our purpose, however, to resurrect former
things, “let tho dead past bury its dead,” let the mem
ory of the sleeping heroes be safely enshrined in the
irta of tho«e who loved and honored them. It is
with a 1 ving army we have to deal, an army of noble
Southern women, who never surrender to any hnman
conqnrer. While men’s hearts were paralyzed by tho
shock of disaster, women arose at once to endure the
Battle of Life, which began for them in the dawn of a
new era. Tho same hands that had girded the swords
their sleeping husbands, fathers, brothers and
sons; the same boar Is that bid them God speed, now
girded on their own armor, not of sword and buckler,
but the armor of every day life—the shield of faith,
the girdle cf fortitude, the staff of patience and the
banner of peace—with those weapons woman can
qner the world.
Every day this army may be seen noiseless in its
tread, moving on through this whole Southern land.
It is found in many a home, whether in city or forest-
brave women, noble women, true women!
Go into our country homes and see the mothers and
sisters, who were once the petted children of wealth
with slaves to answer at every call, now toiling through
each honr, making homo happy by their labors of
love.
The widest man hath said, “greater is be that
cooqueretli his own spirit than he that taketh a
city,” and He who seeth the secrets of all heats,
slone knoweth what struggles these heart-battles have
coet our country-women. Find them where you will,
the same armor is on, the same badge distinguishes
them—woemn fitted to grace any foreign court, are
found battiing against the tide of fortune, and ee Idem
very seldom, murmuring at their lot. Look Into the
schools in our land, and who are training the future
generation* of our country ? Women who
adorned princely halls. Does it require no battle to

Memorial Day.
The ladies belonging to tbo Memorial Asso
ar* requested to meet with badges at 3 o'clock to-day
at the City Hall. They are requested to bring all the
flowers they can possibly get, and they will find car
riages to carry them to the cemetery.
The Executive Department will be closed to-day in
deference to the sanctity of the occasion to permit the
Governor and hie staff to participate in the decoration
of the soldiers graves.
See notice of extra street cars to the cemetery.
Mr. Mallou, the Superintendent of the Public
Schools, cannot be given too much credit for the gre it
interest he has taken in the memorial exercise*. He
has had a number of his scholars providing wreathes

As the Monument Association lacks, as we Lavo

Confederate dead, we respect.'uly, but very hopefully,
move that we, the citizens of Atlanta, duly assembled,
in this lOUi day of May, our glorious memorial day,
do, each one of us, contribute something towards the
completion of the Confederate Monument; and we
hereby tender our thanks to the patriotic gentleman
who has kindly provided contribution boxes for us.
Citizens of Atlante, what say you ?
A 1’rineely Entertainment.
The entertainment given by Mr. Miles G. Dobbins
oa Thursday evening, on the occasion of the marriage
of his beautiful daughter. Mias Mamin Dobbins, was
one of the most elegant aud expensive ever known in
this city. The reception waa at Ida residence in Wert
End, which, until a late hour at night, was a living
panorama of gaiety, f tahion, music and banqueting.
The boose and grounds wero beautifully illuminated
with lamps and lanterns from colonade to cupola, and
to the guests appearing in tho distance, presented the
appearance of enchanted palaces described In fairy
stories. The bridal party, in splendid equipage, ar
rived about 10 o’clock in ihe evening, and were greet
ed with a soul-stirring peal of music from Prof. Frey-
er's excellent string band, which throughout the night
dispensed royal music to “ dancers dancing In tune,”
and every arrival thereafter waa greeted with an ap
propriate overture from the band.
The walks were spread with carpets, and the lawn
provided with tempting tetc-a-tetcs, which (with the
soft moonlight) can testify to many a tend r word, in
sweet accents spoken, and many a merry laughter,
the echo of some sharp repartee or sparkling witti
cism. At 11 o'clock sapper was announced, and
while the bridal party adjourned to the dining room,
the many happy gueete were furnished with tempting
and tasty refreshments In tho reception rooms, the
colonade and the yard. The dress table was a rare
combination of beauty, elegance and taste, and mast
have been prepared at a munificent outlay.
After supper the quadrille was formed, and while
the devotees of Terpsichore were reveling and making
merry in the dancing saloon, the Goddess of Love
was playing many a prank on the laznplitten lawn,
curtain ambnscadea and “moonlit” retreats. The
many gueete began to disperse about 1 o’clock, and
went home light-hearted and grateful to Mr. Dobbins
and his elegant lady for the princely entertainment
which they had so tastefully and munificently pro
vided.
Among the prominent guests present were General
Austell and lady, Colonel Oeorge W. Adair, Judge O.
A. Loehrane, Major B. H. Broom head and lady. Major
8. B. Wight, and Mr.Seago and lady. *
Twelve yonvi ago a Connecticut former kill
ed himself by placing the muzzle of a gun
against hia breast and diecharging it with a
poker. Last Wednesday morning hi* sou,
also a farmer, in the name room, with the
same gnu, and in the game manner, took bit
life.
A novtl and highly interesting case came up for a
bearing before Jmdice E. W. Munday yesterday morn
ing at 10 o’clock, during *.he investigation of which
some of Bullock’s illegal, fraudulent, and void acta
while Governor of Georgia, came to light. Judg
ments had been rendered and execution* issued
against A. T. Finney by R. A. Johnson, acting as Jus
tice of the Peace in and f-.r the 1231th district
Georgia Militia, under an appointment
from Bullock the then Governor. The dei-jndant in
execution came into Coart end moved to set aside the
judgments against himself, and the executions issued
u nder and by virtue of them, on the grouud that
they were void, R. A. Johnson not being at the time
he signed the judgments and executions, a legal Jus
tice of the Peace. Tbo motion was resisted on the
ground that the Court (Judge Munday), bad no au
thority to decide whether or net Johnson waa a Jus
tice of the Peace, aud that no objections, or plea to the
jurisdiction had been set forth or insisted upon at
tne trial. Col. J. Tom Finley appeared as counsel for
the plaintiff in exeent on. Colonels W. II. Dabney
and P. Walpole represented the movant, and replied,
f that the question for tho coart to decide was not
ver is . whether Johnson was a Justice of the Peace, but
ature I whether tbo papers—tho executions—were legal-
valid. The records from the Executive Department
showed that Johnson had been appointed to the
office by the Governor, and that a written application
io appointment had bet n made by
Johnson. The Commission issued to
him was, however, in regular form for Justices of the
Peace, and recited that Bullock, by virtue of au'hority
in him, and by virtue of Jobnson’s election to the
office, did commision, empower, authorize, etc , him
the said Johnson, to do and perform all functions,
powers, duties and acts of a Justice of the Peace.wheu
the fact was, no election had been held, and the Gov
ernor knew it, but in the face of this Lad the
brazen audacity and effrontery to certify this
commission with tbe great seal of tbe State, and un
der it Johnson acted, and from some cause, tbe legali
ty of his acta had not been denied until this occasion.
In making these statements, we intend no reflection
on Mr. Johnson far accepting the tender, for so far as
we know, be is a clever gentleman. But no
man of ordinary intelligence, who ever
read the the Constitution and laws of tho
State, would hold that the Executive possesses, or
possessed at that time (for there has been no change
.-iuee in this respect) the power to appoint Justices of
the Peace. Much less would any lawyer entertain the
idea for a moment. The Governor can only appoint
Notaries Public who are ex officio Justices. Tbo argu
ments over Judge Munday reserved his decision until
2 o'clock p. m., when he sustained the motion and
held Lhe judinents and executions invalid. The case,
we are informed, will be carried to tbe Superior Court.

matron or maiden going with cheerful step through
the cold of winter snows and the heat of summer days,
that those same matrons and maidens
once some cherished wife or daughter
who were shielded from every storm of life that love
and wealth could shelter; or who would suppose that
the pale form that stitches by a midnight lamp, was
the idolized daughter, who made her home
bright by her presence? Fiercer still docs this heart
battle rage, when these same daughters arc compelled
to appear in public positions, from which their native
modesty revolts, for the means of
subsistence for some aged parent.
Talk of Spartan women, or of noble women
in France or Eng'and. who were punished at the stake,
but there are no braver hearts than have beat in South
ern women since tbe day that Lee surrendered. It
was far easier to march into the thickest of the battle
or be wounded in glorions*warfare, than to fight down
the high-born pride and the chivalry of true, womanly
hearts. Often wo see the first ladies in our land
spreading tables for the support of themselves and
their children, and compelled to do the work of slaves
when their very souls revolt at such occupation. God
only knows what this battlo for bread costs
Anxious mothers are obliged to leave little children
all through the long days to meet engagements
iu public avocations. Sometimes .those mothers re.
turn home to find their loved ones sick and dying.
There have been more instances than ono where the
ADgel of Death had marked its victim in their house
hold whilst they were at daily work, and in a few short
hoars some little idol was laid in its coffin and the
mother allowed one day to weep ere her work went
on. There are little children, too, in this army—child
ren dwarfed by werk beyond their years, and some too
weak for this battle sink beneath the burden of their
armor, aud kiud angels take them to a world of rest*
God help this silent army. Mai y of its sol
diers are homeless, remembering ouly far back iu tbe
panorama of life tbe places they once knew as home,
where the flowers bloomed, tbe trees were ever green,
and the birds sang in every tree. Only with faith do
they look upward and onward to a homo whose trees
immortal, aud whose foundations can never be
moved. Could the veteran fathers, the honored hus
bands, or the brothers who are laid te rest in their
suits of Kray, look back into this land of ours, surely
they would feel that the highest monument that has
been or ever can be raised to their memories*
has already been raised in the bravo conduct
of true Southern women, and future generations will
yet see that the South arose to its truest of glory
from the ashes of its dead heroes.
Men of the South! whoso swords are iu their scab
bards, whose arms are muffled, whoso banner is
furled, ye are yet sentinels in this army. Fathers,
husbands and brothers! glory in the women wbo are
willing to share with you iu your daily toils, aud with
the banner of honor shield them In all their trials.
Politicians! guard well their homes and their rights;
and ye who yield the pen of the land!
by the lonely midnight watches of onr
dead heroes, by tbe groaus of those who perished
in prison, by the blood of those who counted not their
lives, dear to preserve onr homes and honor; wo be
seech you to guard the honor of Southern women;
throw the mantle of charity over the erring ones and
rather pierce a dagger Into yonr own hearts than
bring tbeir names before tbo world in a dishonored
manner.
March on, brave army with the noiseless tread, no
trump of victory will ever sound your praise,
earthly laurels ever wreath your brows, but in that
land where the voice of war is never heard, victor
palms shall await you, and unfading crowns shall be
yours. A SOUTHEBN WoJlAN.

the exorcises were highly appreciated by the audi

IMPORTANT CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN TE
LEADER OF THE NEW YORK PRODUCERS'
AND CONSUMERS’ CONVENTION AND
GOVERNOR SMITH.
Trot, N. Y., April 19, 1873.
llis Excellency, James II. Smith, Atlanta, 0a.:
Mt Dear Sir: Seeing yonr call in the New
York World, I feel at liberty to forward you a
call, to meet at the Astor House, May Gth, 10
a. u. I earnestly hope that you will endeavor
to be present yourself, and I also take the
liberty of asking you to have a strong delega
tion present from yoar State, aud all other
States which bound your State. I ask this
because I do not know the proper persons in
those States to address. Will you be kiud
enough to forward to those States copies of
this call, and urge them to be represented? I
will forward you fifty copies for that purpose.
Our meeting can and will consider your
proposed Atlantic and Great Western Canal,
and it will aid us in accomplishing and suc
cessfully carrying out our plans for “cheap
transportation.” The entire West and North
west will be inlly represented, and it is our
desire to have tbe entiie Southern States
fully represented, also. We have no hobbies.
“The greatest good to the greatest number”
is what we aim to accomplish.
I believe in improving all water routes, aud
ie construction of a “ people’s line of rail-
ON TO THE FRONT.
The Rome Boys Send Their
Machines Down.
Yesterday afternoon a few firemen’s uniforms were
seen dotting the streota. On Inquiry as to what this
meant, we found that tho advance guard of tba Rome
Fire Department were pasting through the city on
their way to Augusta. This advance squad, composed
of Messrs. Prlntup, Roberta, Owens, Goodman. Mc-
Curry, Conway, and Wiugard, had under their charge
the “Mountain City ” engine. Rainbow Mel, andCitl
zena’ hook and ladder truck. The different machines
were in good order, and the men in fine spirits. The
hook and Udder men are very confident of carrying
home the prise contested for. Dave U to do their
climbing, and they are betting heavy on bis celerity.

Dr. ’Wills' Address to tile Young.
A large congregation assembled at the First Presby-1
torlan Church last evening, to hear tho address of
Rev. Dr. Wills to the youug of tho city. Tho dis
course was profound, and yet eminently practical and
pertinent in it* application, fully sustaining
the reputation of its author. The utmost
tuition was given, and perfoct silence observed
during the delivery of the discourse, which
attests its appreciation by thoso present. Want of
space prevents us from giving a synopsis of it, but
will the following, which is worthy te be inscribed in
letters of gold, and in the mind and heart of every
person, to show the character of the effort Said the
Doctor:
Every man who does his duty will have strong ene
mies and stronger friends. No son of Adam can
achieve a grand destiny but by a baptism of fire. It
la through much tribulation that men are to cuter the
higher kingdom of truth and love.
Most of the conaurcs of tho world are altogether
without force and effect. They aro the ebnlitious of
peeeion, which subside in a moment, and not the
sober utterances of reason which live ou from ago to
age. Those who are bitterest in their cursos to day
aro loudest iu their hosannahs to morrow.
No man can be degraded but by his own act. II •
who ia true to himself can troat with supreme con
tempt the scoffs and sneers of a frowning world. All
good and true men glory in tribulation for conscience

Colored Fellows' Celebris4 Ion .
ruorniAMMi: von tii* occasion.
The colored members of tho Grand United Order ef
Odd Fellows of this city will celebrate the annivortary
of their order on Monday next, tbo twelfth iuntosL
Tbe following to the order or exercises that will be
observed:
PROGRAMME.
Grand United Order of Odd Follows.
Star Of the South Lodge No. 1456 and St. James
Lodge No. 1455 Will celebrate Monday, tho twelfth
Instant.
The respective lodges will form the processional
tfce ledge room on Phachtroo straut at tal o’clock a.
m., aad march through the prlucipal strode to Bethel
Church, where addresses will be delivered by tho Rev.
of Phtfodelphis, and other distinguished
road ” that shall carry freight at cost. I do
not wish to increase our civil service by hav
ing the government control the railroads; but
I think we can have a line of railroad govern
ed by the people; and I think if the govern
ment should appoint three commissioners to
represent itself, anti each State through which
the road passes appoint one, wo then would
have a majority of State commissioners, and
the government be still represented. 1 merely
throw out these ideas to show that it is possi
ble to have a “ people’s railroad,” managed by
the people, and yet escape the centralization
principle.
We will undoubtedly meet with strong op
position from the more conservative and eco
nomical (?) class, who will cry out at tho
great expenso that tho government And peo
ple will be pot to, and tho corruption that
would ensue by the government going into
the railroad and canal business. To tbe first,
I would say, while onr Western farmer is
taxed three-fourths of his productions to carry
the remaining quarter to market, it is simply
nonsense to say, we, the people, cannot af
ford to spend two or fonr hundred millions
in transportation improvements. Why, if the
whole population was taxed three
dollars per capita, on our forty millions, it
would be $120,000,000,^ sum much less than
is now extorted trom them every year by our
bloated railroad kings, who sit in their pala
tial residences, control onr Legislatures, and
corrupt our whole system ot government by
their wholesale land grabbing operations and
Credit Mobilier transactions. In relation to
the corruption, we must see that none bat the
tried aud true - ’ are entrusted with the man
agement ami construction of these proposed
new routes of transportation. So that there
shall be no jobs in the work.
Our meeting can be made of service to your
assembly on the 20th proximo, and I would
urge on you the necessity of having all yonr
neighboring States folly represented.
Please let me hear from you in relation to
it, and if yon have a small map or outline of
your proposed canal route, and any facts and
figures in relation to it, I would thank you to
forward some of them to me.
Let us be a unit in this great question; let
no party and no sectional jealousies interfere
with tho success of our undertaking.
I am, sir, very respectlully,
It. H. Ferguson.
Executive Department,
State of Georgia,
Atlanta, Ga., May 1, 1873.
It. II. Ferguson, Esq., 'JVoy, Xeio York:
Dear Sir Your kind favor ot the 19th u!
timo, conveying an invitation to meet with
you on tho Cth of May, has just reached mo,
and I write without delay to thank j’ou for the
honor you have done me.
There is no question so important to the in
terests of the whole country ns that of cheap
transportation between the great producing
and consuming sections, and no subject that
can more properly claim the time and atten
tion of those whom the people have entrusted
with their confidence than the solution of
this problem.
To ensure our present and future prosper
ity, we must have free commercial intercouse
between the North, the West and the South
and this can only he had by cheapening the
cost of transportation, ’bo as to enable the
producer iu each section to effect an ex
change of products with his neighbors, and
also to Recurc an outlet to tho markets of
the countries for whatever surplns remains at
fors that will leave a living profit on liis
luiior.
My own State and section are deeply in
terested iu this movement, and I regret that
your call reached me too late to admit the
possibility of my being present in person, or
by such a delegation as would probably rep
resent the wishes of my people. I regret
this the more in view of the kind expressions
which yonr letter contains, and the indorse
ment yon give to a project in which we are so
deeply interested, and I assure you wo are
ready to go with you, heart and hand, upon
a question of such grand national importance,
and one that will ensure mutual prosperity
and advancement to all sections. We are
well aware that the great need of your sec
tion, os well as our own, is cheap transporta
tion, and we are equally aware of the fact
that this can bo secured only by lines of
water communication. Nature has done
much for us in this respect. Iu fact, it
has already built tbe greater portiou
of a direct line of water communication be
tween the Mississippi river and Atlantic
ocean through the State of Georgia. You
will see, by looking at tho map, that the Ten
nessee approaches near the Coosa, and that
this river approaches, within a *few miles, tho
water that flows into the Atlantic. Connect
these navigable streams by canal and the
work is done. We thns connect two great
systems of inland navigation one of which
permeates the great grain producing regions
of the West, and the other, the cotton belt of
the Southern States. Does it need an argu
ment to show that a work of thiB nature
would bo mutually beneficial ? Is it neces
sary to explain that the increased production
of cotton would benefit the manufacturers of
the New England and Middle States, and ths
consumers of cotton in the West?
I agree with yon fully, that there is no ques
tion now before the country of equal import
ance with this, and I heartily second you in
your patriotic desire that neither party ties
nor sectional jealousies be suffered to interfere
with or impede the successful prosecution of
this grand undertaking. It wonld give me
groat pleasure to see you at tho Convention
on the 20th of May, accompanied by such a
delegation as the Cth of May may select. I
am, sir, very respectfully,
Jambs M. Smith.
ing his victims, Calien tried to strike young
Bird, coming within an inch of his head with
tbe axe/ 1 Bird said, “For God's sake, don’t
kill me.” Cullen told him if he would swear
that he would never tell he would spare his
life. The boy promised, and Cullen com
menced to take tbe previsions oat of the
camp and then set the camp on fire. Swan-
beck and Bird then made their way to Ball’s
Mills, where they arrived at about eight
o’clock this morning.
Parties were immediately sent to scour the
county in search of Cullen. Parties from
Presque Isle, Maple!on and all the surround
ing towns turned out armed and joined in the
search.
About four o’clock this afternoon a messen
ger arrived from Ball’s Mills with tho news
that Cullen was captuied. Cullen confessed
the crime and said he was glad he had done
it He was found in tho cellar of the house
in Castle Hill where he lived. Ho said if
they had let him alone, he was going to kill
his wife and child to-night. When asked if
he did the deed he said he did, and he in
tended to have killed tho whole party, and
was damned glad he murdered them. It is
reported that he said he struck them with the
axe and then cut their heads off.
Mr. Granville A. Hayden was a young man
much beloved by this community, where he
has lived for many years. He leaves a wife
and one child. He has been Deputy Sheriff
of this county for a number of years, and
wag one of tho most genial and popular men
iu this section of the State, where he is ex
tensively known and much respected. The
community will feel his loss very much and
deeply sympathize with hia widow and child,
who by this villanousdeed have been deprived
of an excellent husband and father.
Mr. Thomas Hubbard was also a young man,
who came to this county some ten years ago
from St. Albaus, in this State. He lived at
Chapman, and was unmarried. He was one
of tbe best young men of that town, and lie
will be missed by the community. The people
are very excited at this unprovoked murder.
Cnllen had not the slightest pretence for kill
ing these men. There were no hard words,
but everything was pleasant, and (hey went
to sleep in perfect security. Tnis fiend in hu
man shape, without giving them a moment’s
warning, killed them, and then burned their
bodies.
Persons have just arrived here from the
camp where this awful tragedy occurred, and
state that they found the camp still on fire.
Tho remains of poor Hayden andHubbaid
were almost entirely consumed, there being
about a handful of bones left of both bodies.
The murderer stated that he dragged the vic
tims after he had killed them and threw them
into tbe fire and piled logs upon them.
On Wednesday night, about balf-past nine
o’clock officer Hughes, accompanied with a
guard of four or five men, started from

realize how much a million is. It is a vast

lion is, for he has handled it, and counted it,
and has it now on deposit at the Farmers and
Drovers Bank, at Louisville, Kentucky. This
is Governor Bramlette, the agent of the Fub-

Correspondence of tbo Portland Advertiser.
Pbksque Isle, April 30, 1873
This morning news reached this town ol n
horrible murder which look place last night at
a camp about thirteen miles from here. Tho
particulars, as near as I can learn at tho pres
ent writing, are as follows:
Last Saturday night the storo of David
Dudley, at Ball s Mills, Mapleton, was brok
en into and a small quantity of goods stolen.
Suspicion rested upon oue James Cullen, who,
as far as wo can learn, is a desperate follow
who moved to this country some two years
siuro from tho Province cf New Brunswiok.
A warrant was issued and Granville A. Hay
den, ol this village, who was Deputy Sheriff
of tho county, went iu pursuit of him. Ho loft
this village about 10 o’olock on Monday night,
went to Ball's Mills, and the next day took
two men with him, and started on mow shoes
for a camp in the woods, soma six or seven
miles from the Mills. Tho camp was the
home of a man by tho name of Bwanbeck,
and situated in Chapman plontatioo, Mr.
Hayden arrived at tbo camp some time after
dark, end fonnd James Cullen stopping with
Bwanbeck. They retired to rest, intending
to com* back to tbo Mills in tho morning.
During tho night Cullen took an axe aud kill
ed Hayden and Thomas Hubbard. There
were two other persons in the camp—Mr.
Swnnbeck and a young min by tbo name of
Bird. Swaubock says he heard a crash, and
lookittg lip, saw Cullen striking Harden and
then Bublxrrd. Ho jumped from the camp
and made his'escape to the woods. After kill-

Magic Balsam is a humbug and a swindle.
It has just swindled Jerry Tate of Barnes-

A glorious swindle, would that these were
more such swindles just like Jackson’s Magic
Balsam.
This swindle is for sale by all Druggists.
Beware of it, you who are sutler ing as Jerry
was.
